"Nurse Miriam's patience was outstanding, and she took the time to explain what a Botox treatment entails and what I can expect from the treatment.
This was my first experience, and I'm so satisfied with my results. I love that it helped with my wrinkles, TMJ and headaches.
Nurse Miriam was very professional, and I will definitely be coming back."
"Miriam is truly the best at what she does! Had a consultation, and she made me feel very comfortable with everything, talked me through both procedures and eased my nerves! She made sure of what I wanted out of these treatments so she could provide the best results. If you’re actively seeking places to get these treatments done, look no further; this is the place to go."
